This was a fun little short story recommended by a discord server I'm in. Based off of a Dungeons and Dragons character the author created and never got to play, he was loathe to let Gam Gam the Necromancer go to waste.
This is exactly what you think you'll get when you read the title. Gam Gam is a little old lady, loves to knit, and has a very strong caretaker personality. The ideal Gam Gam. Only a little more "special". Gam Gam is a first level necromancer, has a skeletal cat companion named Nugget, and a specter protector named Sir Giblet. When twelve year old Mina stumbles into her camp seeking refuge after being chased all night by soldiers with dogs, Gam Gam asks no questions and comes to her defense immediately. The rest of the story follows these two as the seek a more permanent freedom for Mina.
I enjoyed this story, the writing was good, if a little flowery to begin with - but forgivable when you know he's a long time GM, and is used to "setting the scene" for his players. I'll totally read the second installment to see where Gam Gam and Mina adventure to next.
